Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods of presenting polymeric biomolecules such as nucleic acids for analysis, and in particular, to methods for tagging and elongating the biomolecules for characterization, sorting and analysis or other use.
- a single DNA molecule can be elongated, for example, by shear forces of liquid flow, by capillary action or by convective flow, and then fixed in an elongated form to a substrate by electrostatic attraction. Sequence features of the fixed molecule can be identified by cleaving the fixed molecule with one or more restriction enzymes to produce gaps that can be marked by fluoroscopic markers or the like and then visualized. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,713,263; 6,610,256; 6,607,888; 6,509,158; 6,448,012; 6,340,567; 6,294,136; 6,221,592. See also, U.S. Published Patent Application Nos.
- a nanochannel is a channel having a cross-sectional dimension less than 1,000 nanometers and typically on the order of 30 nanometers.
- the suspended DNA molecule is sufficiently spaced apart from the channel walls to avoid surface interference in the reaction process while still stabilizing the DNA molecule sufficiently for analytical techniques.
- Nanochannels are extremely difficult to fabricate, thus costly, and as a practical matter, are not reusable.
- the small size of nanochannels makes the addition of chemical reagents, especially enzymes, difficult. It is also difficult to encourage DNA molecules to enter the small cross-sectional area of nanochannels. Likewise, it can be difficult to remove interfering reaction by-products from nanochannels.
- restriction enzymes cutting the DNA may not make visible gaps.
- the present invention provides methods for marking individual double-stranded polymeric nucleic acid molecules to yield intact, marked polymeric nucleic acid molecules suitable for characterization and for subsequent uses.
- a single strand of the double stranded molecule is broken (nicked) but the integrity of the molecule is maintained. Because the molecule is not cleaved in the nicking process, the nicking process can be performed before the molecule is immobilized for analysis in a nanochannel, and optionally characterized and sorted for subsequent uses, including use in an array of sorted molecules.
- the invention also relates to methods for providing the nicked, polymeric nucleic acid molecules in a low ionic strength buffer to increase the stiffness of the molecules, thereby facilitating use of devices having convenient geometries for characterization.
- the third technique rendered possible by the increased stiffness, is to use a channel having a nanometer scale in height, but a micrometer scale in width, relying on the greater stiffness of the elongated DNA molecule to remain properly aligned within the larger channels.
- the larger channel simplifies loading of the DNA, the introduction of reagents, and greatly simplifies channel construction, thereby reducing costs and making disposable channels practical.
- the invention relates to sorting of nucleic acids characterized in accord with the invention.
- a nucleic acid molecule characterized in a nanochannel after site-specific labeling on a single strand as described elsewhere herein can be captured by, e.g., electrostatic attraction, to an electrode activated to capture on the particular molecule (or, e.g., a related class of molecules).
- the electrode can be provided in a microchannel (i.e., a channel having width and height dimensions greater than those of a nanochannel, e.g., 5 microns in width and 10 microns in height) in electrical connection with and under the logical control of a controller (such as a computer having a suitable user interface for specifying user parameters) that can also coordinate the process of matching the labeled nucleic acids against a genomic sequence database to identify and distinguish nucleic acid molecules of higher interest from those of lesser interest.
- the controller can address the electrode independently, thereby facilitating separate collection of one or more molecules at defined positions in an array.
- Electrodes can be provided in a matrix suited for electrophoretic migration of nucleic acids, e.g., agarose or polyacrylamide, such that captured molecules tend to remain at or near the electrode until directed by the controller to release the captured molecules.
- a ligand can be provided at the capture site to fixedly or releasably retain the captured molecules at the site.
- a suitable capture system can be based upon the addressable electrode arrays described in various patents assigned to Nanogen, Inc., such as U.S. Pat. No. 7,101,717; U.S. Pat. No. 7,045,097; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,867,048, each of which is incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in its entirety. Other systems for capturing and/or releasing nucleic acid can be envisioned.
- identical or related captured molecules can be released from the electrodes in an ordered manner by reversing charge on the electrodes. Again, the release can be separately or coordinately controlled by the controller or controllers. Upon release, the molecules can be conveyed for subsequent analysis, such as sequencing analysis.
- One appropriate use for such released molecule(s) is a conventional nucleotide-level sequence analysis of the molecules to ascertain whether the obtained molecule(s) are identical to or different from a reference sequence in a pre-existing database.
- the molecule flows in a stream from the nanochannel into a sorting microchannel-sized chamber whereupon the controller instructs a microvalve in the chamber either (1) to open to reject a molecule of low interest from the chamber into a waste chamber or (2) to close so that a molecule of high interest is drawn (e.g., by charge) into a downstream system, such as a sequencing platform or amplification system.
- a downstream system such as a sequencing platform or amplification system.

- FIGS. 5 a and b depicts a design of a suitable micro-nanochannel device.
- FIGS. 6 a and b show the effect of buffer ionic strength on DNA elongation.
- FIG. 7 graphically depicts the impact of buffer dilution upon DNA elongation.
- the present invention relates to the observation that when large genomic DNA molecules are a primary analyte, a key issue becomes how to unravel and mark DNA molecules for high-throughput application.
- unraveling DNA molecules high-throughput methods and systems using nanochannels for analyzing single, intact DNA molecules are possible at low buffer ionic strength because persistence length of DNA molecules inversely varies with ionic strength of a buffer.
- sequence-specific nucleotides can be added to DNA molecules nicked at specific sites using endonucleases that do not catalyze double strand cleavage of the molecules, thereby providing markers of site-specific nicking.
- nucleic acid molecules so identified can be sorted and collected for subsequent use. It will be appreciated that intact individual nucleic acid molecules prepared for presentation and analysis as described herein can alternatively be analyzed after being deposited on a surface, with the understanding that difficulty in removing such deposited molecules precludes subsequent analysis of such molecules, e.g. by nucleic acid sequencing or other methods.
- DNA 10 can be initially processed in a solution 12 without being affixed to a surface such as may interfere with some chemical reactions.
- a DNA 10 can be dyed with a fluorescent marker, such as YOYO-1 fluorescent dye (hereinafter, “YOYO-1”).
- YOYO-1 YOYO-1 fluorescent dye
- DNA 10 in solution may include a number of inherent or pre-existing nicks 14 in which one strand 16 is broken.
- Such nicks 14 may result from damage from mechanical damage, UV light, or temperature.
- a first step as represented by process block 18 of FIG. 4 , incidental inherent nicks 14 are repaired to prevent confusion with nicks made for marking purposes. That is, DNA ligase and dideoxy nucleotides are added to the DNA 10 in solution to remove the inherent nicks.
- a nuclease-free DNA polymerase such as DNase-free DNA Polymerase I, available from Roche Applied Science
- dideoxy nucleotides are added to the DNA 10 in solution.
- the suspended DNA 10 can be nicked at predefined base pair sequences 20 by enzyme 22 .
- the enzyme 22 can be a genetically engineered nicking endonuclease that cleaves only a single strand of a double-stranded polynucleotide, such as an enzyme of this class commercially available from New England Biolabs, including Nb.BbvCI and others.
- Nb.BbvCI and deoxynucleotides are allowed to incubate with DNA 10 in solution at 37° C.
- the nicks 14 produced by enzyme 22 can be labeled by incorporating at the nicked site at least one fluorochrome 28 labeled deoxynucleotide providing a given frequency of light emission 30 , and the remaining body of the DNA 10 can be labeled with a second fluorochrome 32 having a second frequency of emission 34 .
- Fluorochrome 28 can be uniquely keyed to the point of the nick 14 whereas the fluorochromes 32 can distribute themselves uniformly over the remaining surface of the DNA 10 .
- the nicked, labeled DNA can thus be imaged using Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer.
- salt then can be removed from the DNA 10 by adjustment of the buffering solution 12 to cause an elongation of the DNA 10 and a corresponding increased rigidity.
- the elongated and labeled DNA in solution may then be removed for example, by a pipette 38 and transferred into a first chamber 40 of a nanochannel assembly 42 .
- the first chamber 40 provides one electrode 44 of an electrophoresis device and communicates through a set of nanochannels 50 with a second chamber 46 of the assembly 42 having a second electrode 51 of the electrophoresis device.
- operation of a voltage across electrodes 44 and 51 will draw charged molecules such as DNA 10 from first chamber 40 to second chamber 46 through the nanochannels 50 extending therebetween.
- This step entraps the DNA within the nanochannels 50 for analyses or subsequent processing, as represented by process block 60 of FIG. 4 .
- each nanochannel 50 may have a height 52 on the order of 30 nanometers effectively constraining the DNA 10 from substantial curvature in a vertical plane based on the cross-sectional diameter of the DNA 10 . This constraint ensures that the DNA is maintained within the focal plane of a microscope objective which may view the DNA 10 through a transparent top wall 56 of the nanochannels 50 .
- the width of the channel 58 can be on the order of 1,000 nanometers (one micrometer) or less. This allows for simple fabrication of the channel using elastomeric molding techniques, for example, and improves the ability to draw the DNA into the nanochannels 50 .
- the increased stiffness of the DNA 10 preserves its orientation and alignment in the nanochannels 50 despite the width of the nanochannels 50 .
- the DNA 10 may then be characterized or manipulated in other ways within the nanochannels 50 per process block 62 .
- One wall of the nanochannels 50 can be semi-permeable to perform reactions on or otherwise affect the DNA 10 , for example, restoring salt to the DNA.
- characterized molecules can be sorted or selected on the basis of user-specified parameters, as described.
- the molecules can be sorted onto an array on the basis of chromosomal heritage (i.e., only DNA from a particular chromosome or set of chromosomes can be retained, if desired, by providing appropriate capture ligands.
- chromosomal heritage i.e., only DNA from a particular chromosome or set of chromosomes can be retained, if desired, by providing appropriate capture ligands.
- related sequences of, e.g., DNA encoding closely related genes can be retained with each capture ligand retaining a single unique version of the gene.
- members of a single gene family can be sorted away from other related or unrelated genes.
- molecules evidencing known aberrations or mutations can be sorted for further analysis. It will be apparent that the sorting possibilities are extensive.
- persistence length refers to basic mechanical property quantifying the stiffness of a macromolecule of a polymer, reflecting the relative directional orientation of several infinitesimal segments. Under common laboratory conditions, DNA molecules have a persistence length of ⁇ 50 nm.
- FIG. 5 shows the nanochannels (diagonal lines; 100 nm high ⁇ 1 ⁇ m wide) overlaid with microchannels (horizontal lines; 3 ⁇ m high ⁇ 100 ⁇ m wide).
- the devices were formed by molding polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS; DOW CORNING; Midland, Mich.) onto the wafer described above.
- PDMS replicas were formed by curing the PDMS for 24 hours at 65° C. A short curing time (i.e. less than 24 hours), is not enough to make stable, PDMS nanochannel devices.
- An O 2 plasma treatment O 2 pressure of ⁇ 0.67 millibars; load coil power 100 W; 36 seconds; Technics Plasma GMBH 440; Florence, Ky.
- Plasma-treated devices were stored in ultrapure water for twenty-four hours, as PDMS surfaces are reactive right after plasma treatment.
- the PDMS nanochannel devices were washed with 0.5 M EDTA (pH 8.5) three times to extract platinum ions, which was a catalyst for PDMS polymerization. Finally, the PDMS nanochannel devices were mounted on acid cleaned glass, prepared as described previously. Dimalanta E, et al., “A microfluidic system for large DNA molecule arrays,” Anal. Chem. 76:5293-5301 (2004).
- Sequence-specific labeled DNA was the result of the following steps: (1) linearization, (2) ligation, (3) nick site blocking, (4) nick translation, and (5) protein digestion. Linearization is required only when using circular DNA. Regardless of whether linearization was required, DNA ligase was used to remove inherent nicks in DNA. A DNA ligase reaction with T4 DNA ligase was performed at room temperature overnight. An overnight reaction ensures that ligation is complete and kills DNA ligase activity. To further ensure that and all inherent nicks were removed, DNA polymerase I (10 units) was added with dideoxy nucleotides (ddNTPs; 0.2 ⁇ M each) for 30 minutes at 37° C.
